We'll Be Here (When You're Gone) Lyrics - Goo Goo Dolls

1 And through the fence I see a ghost

2 Of a place that used to breathe

3 You know it choked away the sun

4 But we still had food to eat

5 And now everyone is gone

6 To a place that won't be home

7 Can they keep their family strong?

8 Will they make it on their own?

9 And we'll be standing when you're gone

10 And we'll be heard again

11 We missed our chance but not for long

12 I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here

13 When you're gone

14 Then one day we realized

15 That they couldn't hear our voice

16 And it's so hard to understand

17 When it's caught up in the noise

18 But the ones who fight and die

19 Are the truth inside the lie

20 Now it's all built on our backs

21 And we struggle to survive

22 And we'll be standing when you're gone

23 And we'll be heard again

24 We missed our chance but not for long

25 I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here

26 When you're gone
